Atlanta -- The bus driver that drove a New Orleans Saints bus that was egged on Wednesday night as the bus readied to leave Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport told an Atlanta television station that the culprits should be disciplined. Clarence Lester, the bus driver, told Atlanta's Fox 5 that his bus was pelted with raw eggs as it made its way off the airport's grounds.

"When we got ready to pull off, I hear this thump and that's when the egg hit the bus," Lester told Fox 5.

Airport workers allegedly threw eggs at the, but airport administrators have not confirmed those reports. The administrators, who said they are investigating the incident, have conceded that airline workers were on the ramp in the area.

Lester said the series of events shocked him.

"I've been egged before, going through a community or going down the street. When it takes place on the tarmac of the airport, now that's supposedly the most secure that we could be.

"I think they should be disciplined. That's kind of a high profile security clearance job, and I think something should be done."

The remnants of Wednesday's episode, which some players joked about on Twitter, were still visible on the Saints' bus before kickoff of Thursday's game.

A press release did say the Atlanta police department will provide extra security to the Saints when the team departs for New Orleans late Thursday night.
